[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 132745, member: 9521"] One thing to keep in mind is the CostCo experience with the D7000 and how many buyers of these cameras claimed they had focus issues. I don't know if it was a fluke or if Nikon was dumping their less than perfect models on CostCo at a reduced price or it was just a misrepresentative sampling. But in my case, my first D7000 came from CostCo and after a few weeks I was forced to returned it due to the focus issue. I bought my second camera at a local camera store the focus was spot on and it seemed like a different camera altogether. Then as the months progressed we saw a lot of people coming to the board claiming the D7000's they bought at CostCo had issues. Granted, this is far from a scientific survey and I may be totally off base with this but it seemed like a disproportionate number of D7000 from CostCo had issues compared to non-CostCo cameras. But given CostCo's generous return policy, it may be a non-issue provided you return it before the 90 days are up. [/QUOTE]
